Do o-rings work with the new sidewall switches?

Hey, that sounds really interesting. Hope you'll find a way to produce these things. :) Would be great to see Razer spending some more time thinking about keyboard dampening. It was so easy back in the days with the old standard switches. I will also try to find a better solution. By now non of the o-rings fell out. But it just doesnt feel right and its still an inconsistent feeling. The V2 might also be an option. I'm coming from the old Blackwidow 2014 model with green tactile (Kalih) switches and I just wanted to have something more modern. I have the linear switches now and I definetly like them better.

Should I use o-rings?

FiszPLYou should still use the orings on the box switches, BUT don't apply them on the switch itself, but apply it under the keycap like this: https://i2.wp.com/mechanicalkeyboardinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/O-Ring-modified-switch.png Hi, my picture was just to show, that the O-Ring would not work. I put them on the key cap, exactly like in your picture. It just doesnt do anything. But thanks anyway :)

Do o-rings work with the new sidewall switches?

Hi, I have the exact same problem. O-rings dont work with the new switches. Same goes for the Blackwidow lite. From the pictures I saw, the O-rings can not work on the lite model as well. It just doesnt makes sens, as the o-rings sit on top of the switch. I really dont know, how razer would ship these o-rings with the lite model. Heres the solution I came up with: https://imgur.com/a/2Vrv0RX It works, but its not consistent. I think a thicker o-ring, which will sit around the sidewalls is the only way. Although it could effect the lighting, as is will be between the LED and the key cap.

Should I use o-rings?

Hi, I just got my new Blackwidow Elite. Just like jasonmccurry said, the new razer switches with sidewalls are not compatible with standard o-rings.The o-rings would just sit on top of the switch. This has absolutely no effect on travel and dampening. https://imgur.com/a/eSLzmLR (New Razer switches at the top. Old Razer Switches at the bottom. Has anyone a better idea on how to dampen and reduce the travel of the new switches?
